Carolynn Manuel

As beautiful as a rose to see, was her life she lived so gracefully.
She made things precious by her touch; her selfless love lives on in each of us.
The petals of her life fell one by one; each a gift of her heart till there were none.
Yet her radiance blooms once again in fields of glory with no end.

Carolynn Elizabeth Manuel was born on November 14, 1937, in McAllen, Texas to her parents, Spencer Murray Boyd and Jennie V. Anderson Boyd. She was the only child born to this union. She grew with a close and loving bond with her mother. She wanted to be the best daughter she could be.

The family eventually relocated to Denver, Colorado and Carolynn graduated from Manual High School in 1956. On April 23, 1961, she united in holy matrimony to Carl Manuel, Jr. To this union, Mark, Marshall, Ricardo, Rodger, and Carl were born.

She later blessed with thirteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren, who were an additional source of joy and pride in her life. The family shared many happy and precious moments together.
